In 2024 I felt that I was safe being a transwoman in America, that the GOP could rage all they wanted but it was impotent bluster, as dumb as the American people were even they realized that transpeople were no threat and that this was just “Gay Panic V2”
I’m sorry to hear that. Which is so often said vapidly, but I mean it. I also thought we were past this bullshit, but people love a strongman who can point ANYWHERE else to blame their problems on other people in their class or below instead of their keepers.
